A '''temporary resident''' is a foreign national granted the right to stay in a country for a certain length of time (e.g. with a visa or {{vanchor|residency permit}}), without full citizenship. This may be for study, business, or other reasons.
Various countries have their own rules or policies relating to temporary residency:-
